Kroos no closer to Bayern contract

Toni Kroos has yet to sign a new contract at Bayern Munich despite fresh deals being given to fellow Germany internationals Thomas Mueller and Philipp Lahm.

Kroos, who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, is understood to have turned down Bayern's first offer. The midfielder is thought to have made his own terms demand but there is no sign of a compromise.

United had their fingers burned in last year's summer transfer window, when deals for midfielders such as Cesc Fabregas and Sami Khedira collapsed after weeks of speculation, and Van Gaal has opted to steer clear of any dispute between Kroos and Bayern.

But with only one year left on Kroos' current deal, Bayern might still opt to sell the player this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season.
